thanks to boink! for inspiring me to make this topic
SO WHAT IS THIS?It's first person dodgeball inside a disco thing while you play as a robot thing that has a wheel
It's insanely fun
DODGEBALL?Yep, but will lots of twists
WELL DOGGONIT TELL ME MORE ABOUT IT!First of all, to get this out of the way, there's none of that "you can't cross the middle line" stuff. You can go anywhere around the arena. (Except inside the enemy's spawn obvs)
There's respawning, except in the elimination mode.
There's some fun modes like Capture the Cube, Hoops, Elimination, etc.
Instead of a flat area, it's an arena. Quite a few so far already.
Power-ups.
GOSH-GOLLY, THAT DOES SOUND FUN!It is, very much so. Here's some other neat features that don't have a place:
Amazing soundtrack with things from Adhesive Wombat, Anoctave, and Kraedt
Pretty lights
Pick a mustache and shades for your robot
Pick a color for your robot to use in FFA modes
Power-ups such as jetpacks, homing, and big-ball
SO HOW DOES THE BALL STUFF WORK?When you spawn, you don't start out with a ball. You're defenseless without one. You have to pick up one of the many that will be scattered around in the arena. When you pick up one, you can charge up a shot to pass it to a team-mate, or what you'll want to do more, destroy an enemy. Insta-kills. Careful, they can catch it and you'll die, but it's difficult to do so. Your ball becomes safe after 2 bounces.
Here's the official description, he might tell things better.
